American filmmaker. One of the leading independent producers of Hollywood's Golden Age. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After learning about film from his father, who was also a filmmaker, in 1926 he became assistant producer in the B-movie division at MGM under his father's former partner, Louis Burt Mayer (1884-1957). He then worked at Paramount, and in 1931 he became vice president of production at RKO, and in 1933 he returned to MGM as a producer. In 1936 he founded his own production company, Selznick International. He produced many successful works with his unique production method, which strongly controls everything from planning to scriptwriting, filming, editing, and advertising. His culmination of his work, Gone with the Wind (1939), and Rebecca (1940), directed by Alfred Hitchcock, who was invited from England, both won Academy Awards for Best Picture. After the war, he expanded into Europe and began co-productions. His representative works include "Dinner at Eight" (1933), "A Star is Born" (1937), "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1937), "After the Golden Glove" (1944), and "Duel in the Daylight" (1946).

アメリカの映画製作者。黄金期ハリウッドを代表する独立プロデューサー。ペンシルベニア州ピッツバーグの生まれ。映画製作者だった父親のもとで映画全般について学んだのち、1926年、父親の元パートナー、ルイス・B・メイヤーLouis Burt Mayer(1884―1957)のもと、MGMのB級映画班の製作補となる。その後パラマウントを経て、1931年、RKOの製作担当副社長に、1933年にはふたたびMGMの製作者に就任。そして1936年、自らの製作会社セルズニック・インターナショナルを設立。企画から脚本、撮影、編集、宣伝などに至るまでを強力に統轄する独特の製作手法で多くの成功作を生み出す。その集大成ともいえる『風と共に去りぬ』(1939)、またイギリスから招聘(しょうへい)したアルフレッド・ヒッチコック監督による『レベッカ』(1940)では、ともにアカデミー作品賞を受賞。戦後はヨーロッパにも進出、共同製作にも乗り出した。代表作に『晩餐(ばんさん)八時』(1933)、『スタア誕生』(1937)、『ゼンダ城の虜(とりこ)』(1937)、『君去りし後』(1944)、『白昼の決闘』(1946)などがある。 [宮本高晴] [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
